Gift wrap out of an old magazine

Don’t have any wrapping paper around the house?  Never fear!  Just grab your most photo-tastic magazine, rip out the most colorful and fun pages, and glue them onto your gift box.   I used this packaging method for Chris’ birthday recently.

All you need is a magazine, a glue stick, and a ratty old gift box.  It’s a cool type of recycling 🙂

Chris’ gift box:

Use magazine cutouts as cheap gift wrapping

For a personalized touch for the gift card, I just printed out a picture of Wilson (our dog), drew a balloon coming out his mouth, and voila!

Easy personalized card from photo

I will post an update soon with what was inside this unique little gift box 🙂
